Aanval will install on all major linux and Unix distributions including Mac OS X. Step 1 Create a database for Aanval to use Note: You may need to enter credentials to create a database in your particular environment. ie: "mysql -u user -p" followed by enter will prompt for a password prior to accessing the MySQL prompt. Using the MySQL prompt, the command "create database aanvaldb;" creates an MySQL database named "aanvaldb" Using the MySQLAdmin command line tools, the command "mysqladmin create aanvadb" creates this database Step 2 Create a directory within your web root directory for Aanval Issuing the command "mkdir aanval" creates a directory to store Aanval Step 3 Download the latest Aanval console release from Aanval Note: The name of the file includes the most recent major version number, this should be changed to reflect the latest major release available from Aanval. When you are ready to proceed, change into the newly created "aanval" directory and run the following "wget" command "wget www.aanval.com/downloads/aanval-4-latest-stable.tar.gz" will download this package and place it in the current directory Step 4 Uncompress the newly downloaded Aanval package The command "tar -zxvf aanval-4-latest-stable.tar.gz" will uncompress and extract the Aanval package contents into the current directory Step 5 Remove the downloaded archive file to clean up the Aanval directory structure Step 6 Browse to the web-root directory in your browser and login to start the installation process Browse to this location and use the default username "root" and password "specter" to begin the installation process Read and accept the Aanval End User License Agreement ("EULA") Step 7 Configure the installation details to complete the final installation steps Select "Existing Aanval Database" for the Installation type Database Hostname should either be "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" for a local database, or enter the name or network address of the actual database host. Database Username should be a user with general MySQL permissions to perform all operations on the "aanvaldb" database Database Password should be the associated password, leave blank if a password is not necessary Select "Install" to continue Note: Please pay attention to any errors that may occur, and attempt to resolve them through either the information provided or by using the Aanval general and support forums. Step 8 Take note of the default username and password provided. You will need this to access the console. Note: You should change your password immediately after installation to prevent unauthorized access! Upon clicking the "Finished" button you will be taken to the login page. Step 9 Your Aanval console has been successfully installed. You may now login. Step 10 Start the Aanval background processing units ("BPU's") which are responsible for importing events, processing actions and ensuring the console functions properly. Note: You must start the BPU's in order for the console to operate correctly, and it should be done with root or equivalent privileges. Change into the /apps/ directory of your Aanval installation and run the following command: "perl idsBackground.pl -start" Complete! Next, you will want to configure and enable the snort and / or syslog modules from with the Aanval console. Please see the documentation provided for these topics should you require assistance. Should you have had any problems during your installation, please see the online documentation as well as the general and support forums for assistance. Alternatively, you may purchase support and installation assistance to have this process performed by an authorized Aanval engineer.
